Denver is led by junior all-arounder Maddie Karr who had the nation’s fifth best all-around average as a sophomore.

On March 9, the Hornets will travel to Seattle, Washington to take on the University of Washington (No. 11) and the University of Iowa (No. 33), each of which made the postseason in 2018. Washington is coached by Elise Ray-Statz, a bronze medalist at the 2000 Summer Olympics.

Sac State will also be headed to Seattle Feb. 22 to take on Seattle Pacific and then again on March 23 for the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation championship.

The remaining eight meets will all either be at home or in Davis, San Jose or Berkeley.

“As much fun as traveling is, I love competing at home so I’m super excited for this season,” Brent said. “I enjoy being close enough to where my family and friends can come and watch.”
